COLUMBUS, Ohio – Central Ohio is expected to miss out on the snow, but not the cold as a powerful storm bears down on the Upper Midwest this week.
The National Weather Service is warning that wet, frigid weather that pelted parts of Montana and the Dakotas with up to three inches of snow on Sunday will also crawl into Minnesota and Wisconsin early Monday.
As much as a foot of snow could fall on the region and the plunging temperatures are expected to linger, in some places dropping by as much as 40 degrees in a single day.
The powerful storm is part of a system being pushed by the remnants of Typhoon Nuri that hit Alaska’s Aleutian Islands with hurricane-strength winds over the weekend. And it’s likely to bring the first major snowfall of the season.
In Great Falls, Montana, the high temperature is predicted to be 17 degrees on Tuesday. And in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the high is expected to be 25 degrees.
